How Ancient Signs Explain Today’s Headlines: A Powerful Tool for Christian Families
What if the unraveling of America’s spiritual and cultural fabric isn’t as random as it seems?
What if today’s headlines— moral drift, political chaos, national crises—were actually foretold nearly 2,700 years ago?
That’s the provocative question we’re diving into in this week’s episode of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD... and it might just change how you see everything. 👀
One of the most powerful tools to defend our faith, especially for the next generation, is sitting right there in our Bibles, often overlooked. And it is as compelling and as mind-blowing as any apologetics argument out there. If you’re like me, you’ve probably heard about biblical prophecy from the standpoint of ancient history—how Old Testament predictions were fulfilled long ago, reinforcing the reliability of scripture. But… have you considered that prophecy is still unfolding right before our eyes, directly speaking to the headlines that bombard us day after day?
✨ Why This Episode Matters
As Christian parents, we’re desperate for ways to anchor our families in truth while the world tilts sideways. This isn’t just about survival. It’s about equipping our kids to:
✅ Discern God’s hand in history
✅ Recognize warnings and invitations in plain sight
✅ See the Bible as a living, breathing defense of our faith
In a culture quick to dismiss Scripture as outdated, nothing proves its power like discovering it predicted the very world we’re living in today.
🗣️ Meet My Guest: Jonathan Cahn
This week I’m thrilled to be joined by Jonathan Cahn, prophetic voice and New York Times bestselling author of The Harbinger—which, by the way, spent 100 weeks on the bestseller list! 🤯 Now he’s back with a fully illustrated graphic novel edition of The Harbinger—a Marvel-level visual experience that pulls in teens, visual learners, and comic book fans alike. Oh, and somehow middle-aged moms like me! What are the odds?
Together, we’re unpacking how prophecy isn’t just mysterious—it’s missional. And it might be the most underutilized tool we have to build bold, resilient faith.
